What occurs when two tectonics plates move away from each other?
mid-ocean ridges and volcanoes
What is it when plates move farther and farther apart?
Did you mean when tectonic plates move away from each other?That is commonly referred to as continental drift, but forms part of plate tectonics.
Are formed at divergent and converging boundaries?
Convergent and divergent boundaries are terms used in plate tectonics to describe the juncture at two plates and how they move in relation to each other. Divergent plates move apart and convergent move towards each other.
Why are the pacific plates and the antarctic plates moving away from each other?
Because over time plate tectonics move apart. they either move apart, collide, or slide against each other. it's like the San Andreas fault those plates are moving away from each other.
How did the continents move during each of the eras?
They moved by plate tectonics. When continents move, they are resting on plates that glide.
Where do two plates most often move past each other?
I think it is plate tectonics

What occur when plates move?
When plate tectonics move they can either collide into each other, causing mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes, move away from each other, or scrape past each other, this creates a fault. Often times the moving of earths plates results in an earthquake of some sort.

When a plates move alongside each other they create?
When tectonics plates move and rip against each other the can create eather earthquakes or volcanoes or depressions in the earth. Next time, please learn from your teacher before asking the internet.
What does the theory of plate tectonics suggest about the creation of deep sea trenches?
They occur where two plates move away from each other.
What process causes earthquakes and continental drift?
The plates run into each other to make earthquakes. The plate tectonics move around and move the continents sitting on them with it.
What is the word when plates move?
Plate Tectonics
